About

A very simple prototype providing an HTTP interface to Redis.

make clean all
./turnip &
curl http://127.0.0.1:7379/SET/hello/world
curl http://127.0.0.1:7379/GET/hello
→ “world”

curl -d "GET/hello" http://127.0.0.1:7379/
→ “world”

Ideas

• Add meta-data info per key (MIME type in a second key, for instance)
• Find a way to format multi-bulk data
• Support PUT, DELETE, HEAD?
• Add JSON output
• Add JSONP callbacks
• Add support for Redis UNIX socket
• Enrich config file
  • Provide timeout
  • Restrict commands by IP range

HTTP error codes

• Missing key: 404 Not Found
• Timeout on the redis side: 503 Service Unavailable
• Unknown verb: 405 Method Not Allowed

JSON output

/GET/x

{"GET": "value here"}

/INCR/y

{"INCR": 42}
